European women’s volleyball U17: national team defeat against Italy, fight for bronze
The U17 women’s national team lost to Italy 3-2 in sets and thus secured the bronze medal at the European Championships.
Shocking for yet another game, the women’s national team gave it their all against European champions Italy, but lost in the final by 3-2 sets, 16-14 in the tiebreak and failed to qualify for the final of the European Girls’ U17 Championship. The Greek internationals will meet Croatia on Sunday afternoon (July 23, 4:30 p.m.) for the bronze medal.
Although she was 2-0 sets behind, Kosta Gouda’s athletes gave their best on the Vriniatska Banja floor, equalizing in 2-2 sets and leading the tiebreak by 11-8. However, the Italians managed their counterattack and secured their ticket to the final.
Many complaints of our national team came from the refereeing of the Azerbaijani Zaur Khajiev, especially in the tie-break but also in the previous sets which, among other mistakes, changed his original decision twice.
*Greece’s points came from 9 aces, 51 attacks, 5 blocks and 35 errors and Italy came from 8 aces, 53 attacks, 15 blocks and 30 errors.

A doctor from the Yenisei volleyball club provided emergency assistance to a child on board the plane
The doctor of the men’s volleyball club “Yenisei” from Krasnoyarsk, Shakhriyar Mirzoev, provided emergency assistance to the boy on board the plane.
The incident happened during the New Year holidays on the Kazan-Krasnoyarsk flight. The specialist noticed that the man and child were in the toilet for 20 minutes, and the flight attendant came in there periodically.
“I approached and saw that a boy of about nine was standing at the sink filled with water and blood. At that moment, the flight attendant began to ask if there was a doctor on board, to which I replied: “I’m a doctor, I’ll help now.”
I tried to stop the bleeding using cotton wool and improvised means that the conductors had, applying cold to the bridge of the nose. But this had no effect – everything was soaked in blood. The bleeding did not stop for about 20 minutes.
I tried to calm the child down and began to think about what to do next. I asked the flight attendants for a first aid kit and found ampoules of adrenaline there. Having opened two ampoules, I soaked two cotton pads with the solution and inserted them deep into the child’s nose. After a couple of minutes, I saw that the blood had stopped,” AiF Krasnoyarsk quotes Mirzoev as saying.
The child came to his senses. As it turned out, the boy had undergone surgery to remove his adenoids the day before, which probably caused the bleeding.
